@QuadRadical
open fedi
there's nothing new
try opening fedi on phone because bored
it's the same fedi

Is there a minimalistic, portable implementation of systemd-resolved's and systemd-userdbd's query APIs (not mangement APIs) that just calls libc's getaddrinfo / getpwnam / etc?

@sjb
you've heard of parsing HTML with regexes, but have you heard of extracting a single JSON key with strstr?

lines 174-148:

// Crude, minimal search for the requested "name" string inside Varlink JSON
char *name_ptr = strstr(buffer, "\"name\"");
if (!name_ptr) return;
name_ptr = strchr(name_ptr, ':');
if (!name_ptr) return;

holy shit this is terrifying

@piggo regardless, this is the move that saved Porsche's business and I hate it

@Suiseiseki why would anyone use such proprietary Unicode characters?

Is there a convention for marking rhetorical questions on the internet?

If not, I propose "/rq"

EDIT: people said it sounds like "request" and "ragequit" so I think "rq" is no good

@rin
does that make you sus?

@defuneste
I noticed that before LLMs from the user side:

As soon as I got good enough at reading other people's source code that I could solve most of my problems without asking on IRC or forums, it became very difficult for me to join any community.

@nytpu TIL Fox Chell exists!

@tuban_muzuru @inthehands
The data sourcing problem isn't as simple as copyright.

What AI companies are doing is:

1. taking from a public resource (public websites, source code of FOSS projects, knowledge-sharing forums, etc)

2. destroying the public resource in the process (overloading the websites, flooding FOSS projects with slop PRs, disrubting the social dynamic required for forums to work)

3. renting you access to a worse version of the public resource they have destroyed

is a cohort of angry, jobless hackers as dangerous to a state as a cohort of angry, jobless rocket scientists?

@nihl
do EFI bikes come with a Carburetor Simulation Module for backwards-compatibility?

Why do microSD cards develop ioerrors after a year in an SBC...

@nytpu based on some of my family members' fate, if you die from radiotherapy, it can be weeks or months after radiotherapy ended. It can have very delayed consequences...

Is there an online marketplace for renting roof space for antennas, or is this a "cold-send an email asking for a quote" type of market?

> If we allow Russia to win in Ukraine, or to achieve an unjust peace, it will be a matter of years before Russia attacks the European Union

Here's the trick: we don't.

> If we choose to wait, we are only giving Russia the time it needs to rearm and prepare to attack us

No, we're also giving ourselves time to rearm and prepare to defend.

> the moment Russia wins or achieves an unjust peace, their next consideration will be [...] breaking that peace to conquer more of Ukraine

Ukraine will do its best to not agree on a peace deal that would allow Russia to do that.

In order to pull that off, Russia would need a exceptional information asymmetry, or pressure on Ukraine from the West greater than Trump's last attempt.

Are you saying that now Russia is able to wage two wars at the same time?

@piggo I think even electing a new crook would make things better if they were able to convince the crook that there will be a next election, and that losing it is possible.
